What exactly had happened?
Yu Qiang, the Carp Spirit, was utterly bewildered.
Unable to resist, she perked up her ears and began listening to the whispers from all directions.
'The Deputy City Lord is back! Now there'll be a good show!'
'I really can't imagine what the Deputy City Lord will think when she sees Madam Bai like that! She'll definitely be scared witless!'
'Exactly. My eldest son was scared silly for three whole days, and he still hasn't recovered!'
Everyone was saying something different.
But in summary, something extremely strange and unimaginable had happened to Madam Bai!
Yu Qiang was uncertain and secretly mused:
"Bai-jie has ten curses on her, and several of them are top-tier. She's far stronger than me. In Hundred Refinements City, who could make her lose her composure?"
Yu Qiang couldn't figure it out.
She had only left the city a few days ago.
Just a few short days.
What could have happened in Hundred Refinements City to cause this situation?
She was astonished, curious, and wary.
The only thing that comforted her was that aside from the townspeople giving her rather strange looks, they seemed to be living even better than before.
What was going on?
Unable to hold back any longer, she raised a hand and beckoned to someone nearby.
Clip-clop!
The guard soldier immediately came running over to Yu Qiang and saluted her.
Yu Qiang gestured for him to relax and asked softly:
"Niu Yuan, why do the townspeople look more relaxed and content now? What exactly happened while I was gone?"
"I don't know the specifics either."
Soldier Niu Yuan was filled with Baleful Qi. He was built like an iron tower, with eyes like copper bells. When he put on a stern face, he could frighten children into tears.
